- Whoa, hold on there, Len, I'm sure what they meant was that the last release
- of *TCP/IP* supported was 3.1, not the last release of the OS itself. My docs
- on 3B2 NFS list SysVr3.2 as a _requirement_, so don't go downgrading your
- boxes just yet. We even have NFS installed on one of our 3B2/600's running
- SysVr3.2.3, but I couldn't tell you for sure if it actually works, since that
- particular machine is currently not hooked up to the network...
